From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Wed Jun 10 13:18:06 1998 Subject: binary file format?? From: Rusty Boyd To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Wed, 10 Jun 1998 13:17:51 CST What is the file format used when using the 'fwrite' function, or, more to the point, how can I read a file created with this function using a 'C' program. I have tried every precision type listed, but after about 30 or so items from a column vector, the numbers start making no sense (to me). For example, instead of 0xFFFF, the file will contain FFDF, or, instead of 0x000E, it will be 0x00E0.
